Mercury's chaotic secular evolution as a subdiffusive process
Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber, David M. Hernandez +2
Mercury's orbit can destabilize, generally resulting in a collision with either Venus or the Sun. Chaotic evolution can cause g1 to decrease to the approximately constant value of…
ASSIST: An Ephemeris-Quality Test Particle Integrator
Matthew J. Holman, Arya Akmal, Davide Farnocchia +5
We introduce ASSIST, a software package for ephemeris-quality integrations of test particles. ASSIST is an extension of the REBOUND framework and makes use of its IAS15 integrator…
Switching integrators reversibly in the astrophysical -body problem
David M. Hernandez, Walter Dehnen
We present a simple algorithm to switch between -body time integrators in a reversible way. We apply it to planetary systems undergoing arbitrarily close encounters and highly e…
